Yes.

it's sink or swim.

Learn to roll with the punches and "embrace the meme", or isolate yourself into a small hug box, or quit entirely.

Those are the only options.

Embracing the meme is always embarrassing "hello fellow kids" shit. Best course is to just ignore it.

Either way, once a person on the internet has a reputation for being very easy to provoke, it doesn't go away unless that person makes the choice to stop being easily provoked.

I know that sounds unfair and like blaming the victim or whatever, but it is what it is.

His video on watching ads and that video he did in regards to people asking about his History of Power Rangers series.

The other stuff is some of his questionable...interests. You'll have to look that up yourself though.

Apparently stepping away from YT videos is something that's been a while coming, but she was originally planning on moving to the Nebula app but then decided against it and is taking it as an opportunity to step away from the Internet as a whole for the foreseeable future. What that means for her personally is something that only she can answer. I don't know what that will mean for her next novel, or if promotion for that will be on her Twitter or not.

She wasn't even 'cancelled'. She made a slightly racist tweet and her fans called her out on it. Then she had a temper tantrum, made an entire video doubling down, and then continued to do so. I've always been somewhat iffy on her channel. Actively supporting and endorsing contrapoints is kind of yikes, and she makes a habit of talking about how very successful she is. But the content was at least enjoyable so I'd watch her videos. Then she makes a problematic tweet. All she had to do was apologize, and instead she makes an hour long video pretending she's cancelled and trying to prove she didn't do anything wrong. So I stopped watching her content.

Good riddance tbh.

only when ppl bug him about things over and over again

again he knows the web comic he made when he was 18 is shit he just wants ppl to not bring it up to him

he asks his fans to not go after creators is it wrong of him to expect other ppls fans to return that favor

I think it was that he didn't do anything about it when Mike Michaud treated employees like shit.

Honestly, so many of these former Channel Awesome people act so emotionally immature that I don't know who to believe about what.

It was just a nest of awkward nerds with poor social skills, with no adults to speak of in the room.

I've watched her trilogy of videos reviewing the Hobbit movies and trip to New Zealand about a dozen times since they came out. Probably one of the best internet reviews, up there with RLM's Phantom Menace video.

I've read both books currently out.

I dunno, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of OG Let's Players have mostly adult audiences now because they started watching when they were young. The Yogscast, for instance, have mentioned a few times that their videos are mostly watched by people 20+.

Oney mostly talks about stuff that a 12 year old wouldn't understand. He and his friends often discuss stuff from the perspective of someone who was born in the 90s.

Anyway I'm 40, 10 years older than them. And I am obsessed with oneyplays. If you think 12 year olfs watch him, I think you don't really know much about oneyplays. They joke often that their audience is autistic. Not young
